."No.""Jake, it's okay ""No.Take yourself back, Bella." His voice was a slap I flinched as the sound ofit struck me.His jaw clenched and unclenched."Look, Bella," he said in the same hard voice."I can't go back.Treaty or notreaty, that's my enemy in there.""It's not like that ""I have to tell Sam right away.This changes things.We can't be caught on theirterritory.""Jake, it's not a war!"He didn't listen.He put the truck in neutral and jumped out the door, leaving itrunning."Bye, Bella," he called back over his shoulder."I really hope you don't die." Hesprinted into the darkness, shaking so hard that his shape seemed blurred; hedisappeared before I could open my mouth to call him back.Remorse pinned me against the seat for one long second.What had I just done to Jacob'?But remorse couldn't hold me very long.I slid across the seat and put the truck back in drive.My hands were shakingalmost as hard as Jake's had been, and this took a minute of concentration.Then Icarefully turned the truck around and drove it back to my house.It was very dark when I turned off the headlights.Charlie had left in such a hurrythat he'd forgotten to leave the porch lamp on.I felt a pang of doubt, staring at thehouse, deep in shadow.What if it was a trick?I looked back at the black car, almost invisible in the night.No.I knew that car.Still, my hands were shaking even worse than before as I reached for the keyabove the door.When I grabbed the doorknob to unlock it, it twisted easily undermy hand.I let the door fall open.The hallway was black.I wanted to call out a greeting, but my throat was too dry.I couldn't quite seem tocatch my breath.I took a step inside and fumbled for the light switch.It was so black like theblack water& Where was that switch?Just like the black water, with the orange flame flickering impossibly on top of it.Flame that couldn't be a fire, but what then& ? My fingers traced the wall, stillsearching, still shakingSuddenly, something Jacob had told me this afternoon echoed in my head, finallysinking in& She took off into the water, he'd said.The bloodsuckers have theadvantage there.That's why I raced home I was afraid she was going to doubleback swimming.My hand froze in its searching, my whole body froze into place, as I realized whyI recognized the strange orange color on the water.Victoria's hair, blowing wild in the wind, the color of fire& She'd been right there.Right there in the harbor with me and Jacob.If Sam hadn'tbeen there, if it had been just the two of us& ? I couldn't breathe or move.The light flicked on, though my frozen hand had still not found the switch.I blinked into the sudden light, and saw that someone was there, waiting for me. 17.VISITORUNNATURALLY STILL AND WHITE, WITH LARGE BLACK EYES intenton my face, my visitor waited perfectly motionless in the center of the halt,beautiful beyond imagining.My knees trembled for a second, and I nearly fell.Then I hurled myself at her."Alice, oh, Alice!" I cried, as I slammed into her.I'd forgotten how hard she was; it was like running headlong into a wall ofcement."Bella?" There was a strange mingling of relief and confusion in her voice.I locked my arms around her, gasping to inhale as much of the scent of her skinas possible.It wasn't like anything else not floral or spice, citrus or musk.Noperfume in the world could compare.My memory hadn't done it justice.I didn't notice when the gasping turned into something else I only realized I wassobbing when Alice dragged me to the living room couch and pulled me into herlap.It was like curling up into a cool stone, but a stone that was contouredcomfortingly to the shape of my body.She rubbed my back in a gentle rhythm,waiting for me to get control of myself."I'm& sorry," I blubbered."I'm just& so happy& to see you!""It's okay, Bella.Everything's okay.""Yes," I bawled.And, for once, it seemed that way. Alice sighed."I'd forgotten how exuberant you are," she said, and her tone wasdisapproving.I looked up at her through my streaming eyes.Alice's neck was tight, strainingaway from me, her lips pressed together firmly.Her eyes were black as pitch."Oh," I puffed, as I realized the problem.She was thirsty.And I smelledappetizing.It had been a while since I'd had to think about that kind of thing."Sorry.""It's my own fault.It's been too long since I hunted.I shouldn't let myself get sothirsty.But I was in a hurry today [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
